<<  have been trusting my E meter  to keep track of 6 Decka L 16 batteries in 
a
 grid back up (no generator) 12v system.
 The other day I was seeing low voltages from a 100% charged battery. It was 
not.
 The specific gravity was 1.200 in a cells. 
 Has anyone else see this? 
 I intend to use my hydrometer more often. >>


Hi Paul, I'm not familiar with th emeter, but do know that the trimets 
"slip".  Meaning every so often I must use the hydrometer to see whats really 
going on and then equalize as necessary. There are fudge factor adustments on 
the trimet (don't know about the emeter, but suspect they have it to) that 
can improve SOC tracking. 

Best,  Don
